lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like on behalf of the Greek Communist Party and the Greek people as a whole to express our condolences for the victims and our support for those wounded by the earthquake in Turkey last week, adding new wounds to those caused by the earthquake in August. We would like to assure the Turkish people of our support in these terribly trying times. It is vital and urgent that we take all the measures and provide all the funding needed to help deal with the consequences of the recent earthquake disaster in Turkey and to relieve the hundreds of thousands of wounded. The Council and the Commission must ensure that the funding proposals needed are implemented as quickly as possible and, at the same time, ensure that these funds are used solely to restore the damage and relieve the wounded. However, the earthquakes must not be used as an excuse for releasing financial protocols and granting other funds to the Turkish Government which has failed to honour its commitments and comply with the conditions imposed with respect to democratisation, respect for human rights, minority rights, compliance with international law, the settlement of the Cyprus question and cessation of hostilities towards the Kurds. This is why we wish to reiterate our opposition to funding in connection with the implementation of Customs Union and the corresponding proposals in the draft budget for the year 2000. We would like to take this opportunity to stress the more general need for adequate funding to be made available for fast and immediate intervention in order to relieve the wounded and restore damage, as with the recent floods in France and the recent earthquakes in Greece."@en1
